I don't see a reason to bring virt up here. Original patch shows
improvement with a simple loopback netperf test.
Some people like the linux kernel so much, they want to run many
instances of it on the same CPU. Understandable.
So of course everything is then magnified x2 as you
are running two schedulers and two networking stacks,
but let's focus on the important thing which is
better interaction between busy polling and the linux scheduler.
